FANG stocks? Don’t make me BARF

So bored of the fawning adoration over the FANG stocks — Facebook
FB, +0.59%
Amazon.com
AMZN, +1.24%
Netflix
NFLX, -1.12%
and Alphabet
GOOG, +0.57%
— an equity fund focused on mining stocks has come up with a group of polar opposites and given it a “meaningless acronym.”

Writing for ValueWalk, Darin Milmeister of Extract Capital, paid tribute to some big miners that, not surprisingly given the beat-down over the last year for commodity prices, have pretty much done the opposite of the beloved FANGs.

While FANG, “gained an average of 82% in 2015 and collectively created more than $449 billion in equity value,” BARF did almost the opposite. “The four stocks declined an average of 51% and lost $101 billion in equity value in 2015,” said Milmeister.

And he’s not advising any investment advice here either. Just the facts ma’am.
